Build a reusable library of the settings that work.
Save proven material and machine settings as presets, organize them into a searchable library, and use them again when the next job comes up.
From scattered numbers to a working recipe library.
A useful setting is only useful later if you can find it, understand what it belonged to, and use it again.
